Poor Growing Richer.

4 awi Atkinson is publishing in
/, Century, his studies OF 1.-THE
Relative Strength and Weakness of
Nations" from which we quote: SIN
the conclusion of this branch of the
study of the facts and figures of this
country, may it not be held that the
alternate periods of activity and de-
preston which have affected the in
dustries of this country since the
end of the civil war, have been mere
fluctuations or GIBBS and flows in the
great rising tide of progress, ending
in an adjustment to ever new and
better material conditions of life? Is
it not true that while the rich may
have become relatively poorer, the
poor have been steadily growing
richer, not 80 much in the accumula-
ton of personal wealth as in the
power commanding the service of
capital in ever-increasing measure at
less proportionate change? Can It
be denied that labor as distinguished
from capital has been and is securing
to its own use an increasing share OF
an increasing product, or its equiva-
lent in money?

The Army.

The American army consists at this
date of 9, 106 officers and 1896 enlist
edmen. The army cost last year $780,
100000, including IS, 294, 3O5 for pub
lie work, river and harbor improve
ments. In round numbers the army
itself cost 100000, 900, which is about
81 100 to man. 1t must be admitted
that this is rather expensive army.
The average cost of soldier is con-
siderably more than a good mechanic
can earn one year with another. The
appropriation of money for coast and
harbor defenses should not be con-
founded with proportions to increase
the army. The expenditure of sever
al millions to put our seaports in con-
dition to be defended is almost a ne
cessity, but there is no present need OF
larger army. With one commits
stoned officer to twelve enlisted men,
at least one-half of the former can
roam on leave of.absence without Diet
riment to the public service; The
rank and file of the army might
therefore, be nearly doubled without
adding materially to the number OF
officers.

Whom to Marry.

The following hints on the choice
of a husband were given by Rev. 7.
Dewitt Talmage in recent sermon:
1 charge you, don't marry man Of
evil habits. If he will nst now resist
them, he certainly will not when he
has gained the prize. The almhouses
are full of women who thought they
could reform their husbands. No
man % years of age, if he is addicted
to intoXicants, can be reformed by a
wife, for in the present day his sys-
tenn is full of strycnine, nux vomica,
log wood and other poisons. He is
past reform; it is like taking a wheel
barrow on the tracks of the Hudson
river railroad to stop the lightning
express. l would also charge you to
avoid alliance with extremely selfish
men, those who think of their bust
ness and nothing else. Some men are
so much married to their business
that their marriage to you would be
absolute bigamy. In India the wife
leaps upon the funeral pyre of her
dead husband, but in America many
wives leap upon the funeral pyre of
their living husbands.
I counsel you to unite yourself with
a man who is fortune in himself.
Lands, money and the like, are all
well enough, but two or three I'M
lucky investments may upturn them.
There are men who are fortunes in
themselves, who are always genial
and large-hearted. But would also
charge You don't look for a perfect
man. If you find a man who is per-
feet, who is incapable Of mistakes,
don't unite yourself with him; what
a wife you would make for him! In
other words, there arenO perfect men
The only perfect pair slid down the
banks of paradise together.

THE CHARITABLE VANDERBILT.

What Mrs. W. K. Did for Poor Seamstress.
A New York correspondent says: Mrs.
William Z. Vanderbilt is the beauty and
dasher of all the Vanderbilts. Her social
doings have ever had a vim and style
undesired, or at least unattained, by any
other lady among them. Her toilets, her
equipages, diversions have been always
new and sometimes strange, while the
others have seemed to strive for privacy,
seclusion, and quietude. To her is due
tie conception of this round the-world
splendor. The route of the Alva will be
first to London and next to Paris, with
the east to follow. Dinners and balls will
be given on board, and it is unlikely that
Cleopatra in her barge created the stir
world with the Alva.
Don't set Mrs. Willie Vanderbilt down
for a creature too light hearted to feel
for less fortunate fellow women. She
does great deal in charitable and help
full ways, and [ happen to know that her
last act of benevolence was to give $50 to
poor sewing woman who had been
swindled. Not only that, but she referred
the subject to lawyer, with instructions
to use all the money and time necessary
timized. The sufferer in this case receiv-
ed printed circular from the Aid Supply
company, No. 43 Eliot street, Boston. 1t
said that she could get plenty of easy,
light needle work to do at home by send
ing 81 as security for the materials,
which would be forwarded by mail. She
mailed the dollar. believing the glowing
assurances that the Aid company was
rich and benevolent. If the swindle had
consisted of merely stealing the dollar it
would not have been as bad as it was.
Instead, she promptly received some
pieces of stamped plush with the mater
ials to embroider them. She went at
it elatedly and in three days had
earned, according to the promise of the
circular, about four dollars. She returned
the work and never afterward could
get word from the rascalS. Investiga-
ton has shown that thousands of women
throughout the country have been fooled
in the same manner, being led to contri-
butte not own dollar apiece but the labor
by means of which some scoundrelly
dealer in fancy goods has obtained a
stock without cost. Anything more in
geniously devilish can hardly be imagin-
ed, and Mrs. Willie Vanderbilt made up
her mind to stop it.

Cancelled from your memories or from

"Come here, boy. In the name of the
King of Italy, give you the medal for
civil valor."
A loud hurrah, shouted by many voices,
echoed through the hall.
The syndic took the medal from the
table and fastened it on the boys breas t.
Then he embraced and kissed him. The
mother put her hand to her eyes, and the
father bowed his head. The syndic shook
them both by the hand, and, taking the
patent of the decoration, tied around
with ribbon, gave it to the woman.
Then he turned to the boy, and. said:
''May the remembrance of this day, so
glorious for you, so happy for your father
way of virtue and honor. Good bye"
The syndic went out, the band played,
and all seemed ended, when the group of
firemen opened, and boy about or 8
years old, pushed forward by woman
who Immediately concealed herself rushed
toward the young hero, and threw him
self into his arms.
Another burst of applause resounded
in the courtyard: everybody had under
stood at once that this was the boy who
been saved from the Pc, and who had
come to thank his rescuer.
After having kissed him, he took him
by the arm to accompany him out. The
two boys first, and the father and mother
behind, advanced toward the door, pass
ing with difficulty through the crowd,
which made room as they passed guards
and boys, soldiers and women in great
confusion. Everybody pushed forward
and stood on tiptoe to see the boy.
Those on his way touched his hand. When
he passed in front of the school boys,
they all waved their caps in the air. The
boys from the Pc suburb made a great
noise, pulling him by the arms and jack
eff, and crying:
PIN! hurrah for Pin! Bravo, Pinot!
I saw him pass quite close. His face
was beaming with JOY. The medal had a
white red and green ribbon. His mother
was crying and laughing; his father twist
ed his mustache with one hand, which
trembled as if he had the ague. The
people at the windows and on the balloon
les continued to lean over and applaud.
All at once, when they were about to enter
the porch, there came down from the
balcony on which were the soldiers
daughters" a shower of pansies and little
bouquets of violets and OF daisies, Which
fell on the heads of the boy, his father
and his mother, and were scattered on
the ground. Many began hastily to pick
them up, and gave them to the mother.
| The band at the end of the courtyard
played very softly beautiful air, which
| seemed like the singing of so many
silvery voices, moving slowly away down
the banks of a river.

Rearing kangaroo Baby on Bottle.

Rearing a Kangaroo Baby on a Bottle.
Keeper Murray and his baby are the
principal features of interest IN the zoo
logical gardens just at present, says the
Ph1ladelphi Record. The baby is long
legged and awkward little kangaroo,
which was forsaken by its mother and
taken in charge by the keeper, who Is
bringing up the little waif on bottle.
This is a state of affairs that has never
been known to exist before in this country
ii indeed it has ever been heard of any
where. As is well known to scientists,
the female takes the young one at its
birth and places If in the pouch which
nature has provided for the purpose, car
rying il there and nourishing 1t for about
five months, when the young jumper is
old enough and strong enough to look
out for itself.
About four months ago the young ban-
CARGO at the zoo was born and at once
placed in the pouch by the mother.
There it remained until last Wednesday,
when the mother became. frightened or
violently agitated from some unknown
cause, and suddenly threw out the young
one she had been carrying. The little
one was not able to care for itself, and
the keeper made several attempts to re-
place it in the mothers pouch. Each
time, soon as the keepers withdrew,
the mother threw out the young one. and
